About this map

The Magee Historic Site serves as a focal point for this 1990s-era survey of the high-elevation drainage basins in the Coeur d'Alene National Forest. This remote backcountry landscape is defined by the confluence of Magee Creek and Tepee Creek as they flow into Big Creek, a region where the Forest Service managed both historic conservation and modern utility, evidenced by the Magee Landing Strip and nearby Erickson Ranch.

The terrain is exceptionally well-delineated, showing the steep gradients between Hamilton Mountain and Lamb Peak. For local historians and researchers, the map documents the legacy of early forest management and resource extraction, noting Prospects and an Adit near Stewart Ridge, alongside the established transportation network of the Cascade Magee Road and the Leiberg Magee Road. Named landmarks like Leiberg Peak and Leiberg Saddle pay homage to the region's surveying history.
